I had been used to crying after haircuts even from some of the top stylists in town, but this was a completely new wonderful experience.

She made each strand perfect (my hair color is so natural)- it's unbelievable! I get stopped all the time by women whod ask me who I go to for my highlights. I think I've found several new clients for her already! :) On top of all this, Alyson is one of the sweetest and...

I recently moved here from Chicago, and choosing from L.A.'s many highly rated salons, proved to be quite a challenge. Having had two bad haircuts elsewhere (at known salons), my hair was a mess. After getting acquainted with Alyson over the phone and then again in person, and upon her careful observation, I was confident she knew just what to do. She took her time,...
Read More On Citysearch jsasher 6/30/2008 - BEST salon for highlights!I got my hair highlighted a few weeks ago and it looks fantastic. My hair is very curly, and after finding Alyson on Citysearch, I knew she was the lady to go to. She promised natural looking highlights--the results are beautiful. Its been about three weeks and I get compliments constantly, and I've never been happier with the color.

I've lived in big cities like New York and Chicago, and have been to some great stylists, but Alyson is the first person I've found who really took the time to understand what I was looking for, and who cut my hair like a pro. Going to get my haircut is such a treat now, because I know I'...

But Alyson is such a wonderful stylist and professional with so much insight into what helps us look our most beautiful, that I wanted to tell everyone.
After my appointment with Alyson, my hair felt thicker and had more body that I could remember since I was a teenager, and that was many, many, many years ago. My experience with Alyson has be...
Read More On Citysearch anne30sansom 5/30/2008 - Hella Great Cut!!With such long hair, I was understandably concerned about making any change. Alyson put me at ease and listened and did exactly what I asked her to do! Awesome gal, she didn't cut even a centimeter more than I wanted her to. I have never written a review before but hey, this cut made me a believer. Her first client discount is an unexpected surprise, given her expertise. .

Ok so a few months ago I wanted to treat myself to a color and cut from a "celebrity stylist". Let me just say that if you find someone on City Search be certain to do your homework and google them as well. If there isn't any other info on that person than pick someone else. Putting "celebrity stylist" next to your name on an advertisement doesn't mean you are one.
Don't get me wrong Alyson ...

I left with hair with my hair styled like hers, which I did not ask for or want. It was also filled with so much product that it was still wet a half hour later. I had to go home and wash my hair. The cut was incredibly uneven and unattractive. And I had terrible spl...

Every stylist I've ever been to just trims it. They don't give me a "cut" or a "style", they just lop off the dead ends and send me on my way. Alyson studied my hair and gave the best haircut I've ever had. Haircut always looks best after a week or two of growth. I can't believe Alyson can see into t...

It has great body, texture and wave but it wasn't a show-stopper until Alyson gave me highlights. Now I have subtle, natural looking highlights that catche the light whether it is day or night and she did something with the hair around my face so that I kind of glow.

In Alyson Powell at the Parlor I have found both. She puts me at ease, listens to what I am asking for, makes great suggestions and then leaves the decision up to me.

Alyson Powell has been my hair stylist for five years. As I was thinking about writing this review I wanted to find a way that describes both the haircut and the color. Given my background with the Mercedes line of fine automobiles I think the best way to describe that is ?Fit and Finish?. The ?Fit? (cut) is perfect every t...

I have great long blond hair but until Alyson gave me gentle, subtle layering in the front and on the sides I did not have the options to show off my face the way I do now. Up, down, messy, curly, straight-I always lood great. And oh glorious and great are the highlights-like the color pictures you see in cosmopolitan or vogue. The best I have ever had. Thanks, Alyson!

I have thin, long hair but Alyson gave me a cut (layered) and style (framing my face) that adds volume to my hair and then changed the color slightly to accentuate the brown and auburn colors. My friends are jealous and want to know 'who' did my hair and 'where' . I have always gotten a lot of attention from ...

My fine, thin, long, naturally blonde hair was looking scraggly, dull, and flat. Alyson examined my hair and spoke with me for an hour before starting to work on my hair. It was so refreshing to have a stylist take the time to do this. She did beautiful highlights on me and I love t...

The problem I have with every haircut is that it grows out into a lion's mane and I thought with my hair, it was inevitable. To maintain it, I normally had to have it cut every other month (and constantly lose my length). I finally had it cut by Alyson and she's a lifesaver. So she's worth every penny since I've only ...
